The only thing worse than birthdays?

Showing off your baby on ILE - classic. See the Alex in NYC thread.

you get some time away from actually working AND you don't have to sing some half-assed rendition of "Happy Birthday" to some schmuck. However, it's only classic if the baby brought it some cake.

I hate the baby at work because they turn my normally sensible female co-workers into total idiots.

Whereas you maintain your Emma Peel like cool and kill the baby?

I always knew Emma Peel was cool.

What about blogging your baby?

I'm amused by the "Trixie Telemetry," which includes a helpful Diaper Leak Report ("69 hours since last accident!"). But something about this strikes me as a bit...much.

I can't imagine a need to bring our baby to my office other than for having people "ooh" and "aah" over her, which isn't really that appealing. I mean, showing pics is one thing, but I don't presume that everyone wants to come and adore her, let alone hold her and....well, let's face it...smell her (keep in mind that as I type this, I am still recovering from little Charlotte's first [and long-awaited]...er.."deposit"...which occured while I was holding her. It felt like I was holding a bazooka. Complete with recoil.)

Haha alex, you are bringing back "happy" memories repressed for the last four years.

This seems harmless to me, I mean no-one's actually forcing you to hold the little mite or s.th. are they?

Babies to work is a one time thing, and only if hardly anyone else has them. Exceptions are for triplets.

There is a whole thread waiting for parents to post about kids taking a dump. The great thing about baby boys is that when they are on the changing table a lot of times they will blast out a urine stream while you are changing them, often hitting multiple targets (i.e. you, the wall, the wipes, the fresh clothing, the mother-in-law, etc.)

three years pass...

My #1 irritation: bosses who bring their four year old (and his favorite soccer ball) to the office and expect the staff to entertain the kid all day long.

It's impossible to work with all the noise, I'm just going to read blogs all day long.

so surely this is a result? "sorry boss, can't work, have to either play with the kid or look at blogs"

Yeah, "one's wasting company time, and so is the other!"
